Pour in petrol dont light it.

Otherwise it will turn into a dog (go Whoof)

The fumes should do some damage.
(Works with European wasps. Termites are not so tough.)

g'day terry,

can i ask wher the nest is situated?

it is probably going to be unlikely that it is the termites main nest,
so something to consider if you do anything to cause the termites to
move on, which is what they may likely do they could move on to you
home or some place else out of sight but not out of you life.

it may just be best to chat to a termite expert they have ways of
poisoning the nest and the main nest as well by setting baits or
whatever.

the main nest could be a couple of k's or so away and hidden from
sight, especially if you have bush near by.

not all termites attack timber and not all termites attack our homes
the best defence is to have a well maintaned termite barrier around
your home and out buildings, better still if you ever get the
opportunity to do so build an eco' friendly termite resistant home
then you have no worries.

keep us informed

that's right. terry would be doing the right thing to contact the thin
dwarves house-inspection association!

by coincidence, i saw an ad for these people in some junk mail yesterday.
it's the same concept of baiting them with stuff they take home, but at a

No No, dont bait the dwarves....Theyre cute.
There's one that lives near me he's got the biggest darn dog ever.
I reckon he could ride it. I reckon you 'd come of second best in a
fight. (with the dog that is)
